Still workin' on my Journal Your Christmas pages from Shimelle's class. I got the last few cards in the post so I think I'll have more time to work on this now. I am really challenged because NOW I want to start adding paper and stickers and rub-ons oh my! But I'm gonna stay true to just drawing it all and adding red and green accents.
So here are days 8 and 9:
I meant to mention in my last post that over the weekend Glen and I watched "Sergeant York." It's an old one with Gary Cooper and I gotta ask, was there a woman alive that wasn't in love with Gary Cooper back then? What a WONDERFUL character! And what a great movie!
Also, I wanted to share a picture of the sympathy card we got from our vet's office for Geri. Glen took Tommy in on Saturday to have his claws trimmed. We usually do it but there was one that was growing all wonky and cutting into his little paw so we thought it best to let a professional trim that one. Anyways, while he was there, Glen told them about GerGer. Very thoughtful of them to send a card. Sadly, we've lost a few pets and so I know it's common practice for a vet clinic to send a card when there's a loss, but still, it always touches me.
Thinking of you!!!
I like how you've sketched and written your journal. Has a whole different look.

I love your journal pages, they are so beautiful, and so YOU!
I also think the vet's sympathy card was so thoughtful of them. I received one from the vet after I had to have Redd put down. It was very sweet, with a drawing of a dog and kitty looking off into a sunset together, the dog's paw around the kitty, and I don't specifically remember what the inside said, but it was something to the effect of "here for a short season, but in our hearts forever". So true. Okay, now I'm faklempt, must go.....

I will speak for the Gary Cooper generation. He broke many hearts, but never intentionally. When he finally married, it was for keeps. He was THE strong, silent type but was also kind and noble. Sighhhh! As we "bobby soxers" would say back then, "Hubba Hubba!"
